Please Reconsider MSQ Changes

[Anarnee]

I find it utterly pathetic and hilarious and sad that people are arguing over something that you are not required to play or use..yet they complain when they use it...ignoring the fact they where told up front what would happen.

But please..do continue beating each other up. *eats popcorn*

I do with some of you would pay attention to the point that we're not just complaining about the ROULETTE

MSQ/MAIN SCENARIO ROULETTE are not one in the same. If we're gonna make that argument, we're not required to play this game at all. But if I level an new character, which I do regularly, and I want to quickly unsync these dungeons I can't. I have to sit through an hour and a half of, quite frankly, some of the worst garbage CS in the game.

OR

Pay $20 to get past it, and miss out on parts of the game that I actually enjoy.

I love this game and should be able to play at my pace, just as the newbies shouldn't be rushed through, I shouldn't be forced to sit through it.

There are a multitude of problems here not just "Don't run Main scenario roulette if you don't want to."

Lying to yourself wont solve the problem either.

PLEASE do tell me what I'm lying to myself about.

Most of my Main Scenario roulette runs do not have a single person. Ironically enough, we kind of enjoyed some chats about patches, story, gameplay, etc., during the cutscenes. In some other instances, I also check on my FC chat, linkshells, Discord chat rooms, and other FFXIV forums.

As far as time spent on runs go, Castrum Meridianum isn't a problem in terms of time spent. It's still less than 30 minutes on average with a good group (faster than the most of my average Skalla runs.) Praetorium can be too long for repeated plays though.

YMMV on the return of poetic tomes and exp earned. The exp is satisfactory for me and I use poetic tomes for Shire Accessories to turn in to GC. I can get ventures, GC mats, food (for extra EXP and secondary stats), and various other items without breaking the bank (in this case, gil.)

Good question, I'd say with all of the complaining, I might as well put some of my input before it falls on deaf ears.

why take out the roulette bonus for ARF? it is in the lv 50-60 roulette correct?

Because the 50-60 roulette has many other dungeons with much smaller Poetic gains and getting ARF in the roulette is not guaranteed. I used to farm Poetics by doing ARF over and over which is why I made the comparison.

arf is around 15-20 btw, anything over 20 someone is slacking

If you can do it in 15 minutes that's 10 Poetics/minute which makes it better than MSQ roulette. A 20 minute run is as efficient as doing Castrum in the roulette, but worse than doing Prae in the roulette, so I would pick MSQ roulette over ARF if a 15 minute run isn't doable. My 25 minute run was synced and unsync is obviously faster.
